The  workservers would hang or crash when using Microsoft Word to convert the  FCS.  You couldn't stop them in the Enterprise Fax Manager; they would  just stay in a "stopping" state.  You would have to kill the  workserver.exe processes.   Converting these to the RightFax native PCL format solved the issue and  increased the stability and performance of RightFax in a huge  way.
 
FCS  (Fax Cover Sheets) are stored in Rightfax\FCS.  The source (word document) file is in a  subfolder of FCS.  Typically the  cover sheet should be PCL format.   See the AdministratorsGuide.pdf for details on how to create a  FCS.
 
Using the built-in Windows 2000 HP LaserJet 4000 PCL driver produced the best results for us.
 
Here are some articles from Captaris that are useful:

Basically don't use Word to do your fax cover sheet (FCS) conversion…..
